Many people notice unpleasant changes in their appearance after waking up: their face looks "wrinkled", swollen, with pillow marks or even new fine wrinkles. Doctors explain: in most cases, the reason lies in the wrong posture during sleep.
Most people sleep on their side, burying their face in the pillow. This leads to hours of pressure on the skin and also makes it difficult for lymph to circulate. Due to fluid retention in loose tissues, swelling occurs in the morning, and the pressure of the pillow tissue contributes to the appearance of wrinkles and “creases”.
Experts advise to give preference to sleeping on your back - this position is considered the most effective prevention of early wrinkles and swelling. Additionally, a correct anatomical pillow with a special notch in the center will help: it supports the natural position of the head and neck and reduces the risk of lymph flow disorders.
Another easy way to keep your face fresh is to use a pillowcase made of natural silk. The smooth fabric doesn't leave marks on your skin, reduces friction, and provides a more comfortable sleep.
Thus, a few simple changes in habits — sleeping on your back, the right pillow, and a silk pillowcase — can significantly improve the condition of your face in the morning and become an effective prevention of premature skin aging.
